In this episode, Katie Churchman talks with CRR Global faculty member Stephen Burke about the importance of pre-framing. Pre-framing involves considering the lens through which we look before stepping into a conversation, meeting, or project. In this conversation, we explore how pre-framing can help systems workers and their clients navigate conflict, change, and uncertainty. Whether we are delivering difficult news or providing feedback, how might the way we frame the conversation help us to positively influence the emotional field.

What you’ll gain from this episode:

• Awareness around the power and importance of pre-framing in coaching
• Strategies for shifting the lenses we look through
• An understanding of the impact of unconscious energy
• Tools for consciously thinking about how you want to ‘BE’ in any given situation
• Appreciation of the importance of metaskills and conscious and intentional impact
